This quest is a tribute to a player who died of leukemia. For more information, see the entry on Caylee Dak.

Comment by Thewes

Pointless if you're a scryer :P

Comment by Vagnard

The quest is to see Caylee Dak who is a memorial for Dak Krause who died of leukemia in August. His character was named Caylee, and his pet, Dusky, appears with him(well, her and the character was female).The poem was written by a guildie of Dak's named Alicia. Alicia went on to petition Blizzard for the memorial and succeeded in gettting herself and her poem into the game as well as Caylee.

Comment by Tryal

It is a very moving poem, however the original version is by Mary Frye who supposedly wrote it for a friend who felt unable to visit her mother in Germany because of the anti-Semantic feelings there...

Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.I am in a thousand winds that blow,I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain,I am the fields of ripening grain.I am in the morning hush,I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds in circling flight,I am the starshine of the night.I am in the flowers that bloom,I am in a quiet room.I am in the birds that sing,I am in each lovely thing.Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there. I do not die.

Comment by huuren

I wish Horde could do the quest. :(

Comment by Sapii

I dont know, the quest maybe was bugged but i when i went to complete the quest i didn't have the provided item with me unfortunately

Comment by tlanwarrior

You don't have to stealth it, unless your exalted with Scryers. I'm hated with them and rode straight in past half the guards, without being attacked once.

Comment by ramenchan

I didn't understand the point of this quest at first, so I checked to see if there was some follow-up of some sort...

This was very touching, and really took me aback. :( Very sweet that blizz did implement this quest. i pay my respects as well.

Comment by HellFire0

If you're Scryers, either follow the main path from the elevator or fly if you can. However, I'm positive that this quest CAN be completed even if you're hated like me with the Aldor.

I got this quest when helping my sister do a quest in SW Keep, and once I finished it I wondered about a follow-up. So I checked here, and I learned what happened.

My respects to Dak and his family and friends, and thank you Blizzard for putting this memorial into the game.

Comment by mysticwarriormj

Knowing the Background story behind this quest I can't help but tear up every time i do the quest. RIP Dak and I know its a little late but my sympathies to his family and friends.

Comment by Vonschwette

It is awesome to be playing World of Warcraft, being that they have as big of hearts as we do playing with our friends. This quest touches me like everyone else. Great job World of Warcraft for doing things like this. It is another step that makes this game, not a game, but a community. May you rest in peace Dak, you have touched the lives of so many.

Comment by Tanae

Very touching, would also like to pay my respects.

Comment by nelys

I too agree with Vonschwette, this kind of thing makes the game more of a community. We're all people behind these avatars, and when someone passes on, it's great to see Blizzard has a big heart. I was saddened to read the posts above mine, knowing the story behind this quest, but I honestly felt so broken walking up to Caylee Dak, it's one thing to know the story, it's another to be part of something, even for one moment, like a quest of this type, to feel the emotions, when you walk up to her.

Rest in Peace Dak.I give my respects to his Guildies, friends, and family. ( I know I am late.)

Comment by Travins

It appears that this quest is flagged for Kalimdor for Alliance.I'm not too sure, but my bar updated immediately after I turned this in.I did turn in two quests in the Barrens, only the first one updated. If someone could confirm, it would be appreciative.

Comment by Psi2k

Everyone of my charaters has now done this quest!

I also took the characters from my wifes account and did it with them.

It would be nice if Blizzard could tell us how many times this quest has been completed.

The same with the Ahab Wheathoof one.

Comment by Recoil101

I think it's great that Blizzard add things like this. Maybe I'm asking for too much but wouldn't it be a wonderful gesture by Blizzard to donate one dollar/pound/euro/whatever to a leukemia research charity for each account that has a character complete this quest. They're doing very, very well financially so I'm sure they could easily afford it....

Comment by fabsn

Such a great thing. Brought tears to my eyes.

Comment by barthem

i get tears in my eyes from this, this is a great thing from blizzard to add a qoust for here so she would be never forget

Comment by CaspianRoach

Does not counts towards the Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms achievement.

Comment by Zelphyr

Greetings... As I was travelling to Stormwind to check out some items, I noticed this exclamation point in the courtyard, so I went to investigate. I found this little girl and it puzzled me at first. I took the quest and the poem and wondered what it was all about. I checked here and WOW. After reading the posts, I immediately used Astral Recall and went right to Caylee.

It was also my 1000th quest turn in. I had to post this, because its very moving, being a survivor of Cancer twice at the age of 32.

And even though I did not know the player personally or in game, I teared up knowing that a company such as Blizzard has done such a beautiful thing.

Life isn't about what you can get out of it, it's what you put into it.

Comment by Thunderbuck

I came upon this purely by chance, seeing a questgiver in my mini-map as I left the Deeprun Tram. Curious, I found Alicia in the garden in Stormwind Keep.

I had a feeling this was a memorial of some kind when I read the poem that Alicia had given my character. It's a wonderful thing that Blizzard did with this...

Comment by Gedehans

This does not count for Alliance Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms.

Comment by Laujoe

I have got to admit I am realy impressed that blizz made this quest.It is a lovly tribute to a fellow player who sadly passed away.I did this quest on my dk but at the time did not know what it wasabout but I will pay my respects and do this on my other ally chrwhen I can.I also think it would be nice if blizz donated a little money to a leuemia charity but that is their call and not mine.

Comment by Frungi

I kind of don’t want to turn this quest in, so that I can keep the poem.

Comment by Trymeyes

I made/make it a point to do this quest on everyone of my characters.I bow to your memory Dak.

Comment by skumnl

You should do this quest no mather who you are. Period.

Comment by FuryWar

Caylee Dak is standing on Aldor Rise with her Panther "Dusky" near the steps up to the main "temple" area. 31.28 if you have coordinates.

Comment by TanpoSongai

I originally came here wondering why a little girl would write such a moving poem, and not be able to travel to shattrath. Knowing now about the history behind it, everything makes much more sense. Ty Blizzard for adding this :)

Comment by Stakiyah

Does not decrease Scryer reputation.

Comment by Flowerdancer

Hi, I am Scryers faction, but wanted to do this quest. As I am a priest and unable to stealth, I carefully flew high above the ? mark and slowly dropped straight down. I hovered over the npc and never had any issues as she is not standing too close to any of the Aldor guards! I was so glad to be able to successfully complete this quest.

Comment by WarBeauty

I was so touched when I found this sweet little quest. The re-write of this poem is fantastic. In fact, I have so much love for this game, the lore, the content....that this poem spoke volumes to me and I had the last stanza tattoo'd on my back.

"Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I do not die." is written in fountain pen style calligraphy from shoulder to shoulder across my back.
